Because of its location on the Tropic of Cancer, Rio is very tropical and has pleasant weather year round. During the summer months of December, January, February, and March you can expect it to be hot and humid, and the winter months very mild.

The months between December and April have the most average rainfall, which are usually afternoon showers or may last several days. In the winter (July, August, September) it never gets cold, although if it is cloudy out it may be a bit too chilly for the beach. This time of year receives the least amount of rainfall, so a typical winter day is usually sunny and warm.

The best time to go is February to June or September to December, when the sun is enjoyable and not as oppressive as it can get in the dead of summer. You can expect mostly sunny days and clear skies, a perfect combination for excellent beach weather or for exploring the nearby mountains and bays.
